Damascus-Sana
A small polished surface of "basalt" stone looks out from the Prehistoric Syria Department of the National Museum in Damascus, dating back to the Neolithic period.
The painting that was found at the site of Jorf Al-Ahmar on the Euphrates in the Governorate of Aleppo and estimated by archaeologists to be between 9200 and 8800 BC contains an inscription on the front face of a pomegranate catching an insect and an inscription on the back face with drawings of bulls' heads and it is the most important paintings that, according to archaeologists, confirm the beginning of the count Or statistics for the ancient Syrian man.
The site of Jorf Al-Ahmar, which was discovered in 1980 by American archaeologist Tom McClellan before a joint Syrian-French mission headed on the Syrian side headed by the researcher Dr. Bassam Jamous, is one of the clear evidence that Syria is one of the few regions in the world that witnessed the early so-called Neolithic revolution and the emergence of agricultural villages .
